Episode 18.1 went live last week on kRO main servers. The community worked hard to gather information about the update including guides, translating items and datamining monsters.

After succeeding in analyzing the Illusion's power in Varmundt's Mansion, your journey takes you to back to the capital of Arunafeltz to uncover a societal division among its people. Rachel was founded by the missionaries who immigrated and preached the Goddess Freyja. However, faith did not resolve the conflicts between the migrants and the natives.

Gravity finally released the 4th class job sprites!

Their maximum level is 250 and they will add new "status points"

Some animations can be found in their youtube video.

    JT_EM_ARDOR = 20817,
    JT_EM_PROCELLA = 20818,
    JT_EM_TERREMOTUS = 20819,
    JT_EM_SERPENS = 20820,
    JT_4JOB_VOID = 20821,
    JT_4JOB_WRAITH = 20822,
    JT_4JOB_KINGS_NIGHT = 20823,
    JT_4JOB_AGONY_NIGHT = 20824,
    JT_4JOB_DEVOTION_NIGHT = 20825,
    JT_4JOB_ARMED_NIGHT = 20826,
    JT_4JOB_DOOMK = 20827,
    JT_4JOB_VERKHASEL = 20828,

    JT_MEISTER_ABR3 = 20836,
    JT_MEISTER_ABR4 = 20837,
    JT_ELEMETAL_MASTER_S1 = 20838,
    JT_ELEMETAL_MASTER_S2 = 20839,
    JT_ELEMETAL_MASTER_S3 = 20840,
    JT_ELEMETAL_MASTER_S4 = 20841,
    JT_ELEMETAL_MASTER_S5 = 20842,

More information should come within the next weeks or months.

We found some hints for new classes. This might be nothing but just a translation mistake but I decided to share it.

In some robe sprites of twRO, 2019-12-04 and 2019-12-23 these were discovered.

• ABYSS_CHASER (Shadow Chaser)
• ARCH_MAGE (Warlock)
• BIOLO (Genetic)
• CARDINAL (Arch Bishop)
• DRAGON_KNIGHT (Rune Knight)
• ELEMETAL_MASTER (Sorcerer)
• IMPERIAL_GUARD (Royal Guard)
• INQUISITOR (Sura)
• MEISTER (Mechanic?)
• SHADOW_CROSS (Glt. Cross)
• TROUBADOUR (Minstrel)
• TROUVERE (Wanderer)
• WINDHAWK (Ranger)

This is just a vague guess, but we will see in the future.

It took a while but divine-pride.net will now display the information from the lapine upgrade box. The data should update mostly automaticly in the future since it's contained in the client files.

The Lapine Ddukddak boxes will follow soon.

I might also add the random enchants and refines in the future, but that process is not an automatic one since the data is not available in the game client if gravity does not fail on it

@Gravity If you change your mind and want to start sharing information with fansites feel free to contact me on Discord (Dia#1983) or in divine-pride.net forum. Thank you very much!

Gravity just announced episode 17.2 for the test server!

Like always I am looking for replays of the new monsters, maps and quests. If you are playing on kRO feel free to send me those .rrf files to extract new data from it!

Today I received an answer to my support ticket regarding support of fansites and patch information of 4game ragnarok online (new euRO).

Sadly they can't share details so I won't be able to add a changelog for them at the moment.

Thank you for the interest to Ragnarok Online.

Unfortunately, we will not be able to share more detailed information than the game client has (basic descriptions of skill items, etc.). I hope for your understanding.

It seems like kRO is just receiving episode 17.1 today on sakray servers.

For more information check out the changelogs: 

There are new servers in Philippines and Malaysia & Singapore opened by Electronics Extreme, the same publisher as tRO.

You will find their websites here

pRO : https://www.ragnarokonline.com.ph
mysgRO (will have it mRO called in patch notes): https://roextreme.com/mysg

I renamed the old mRO & pRO data to be listed as mROX and pROX. The new data will be listed as pRO and mRO data.
